Becoming Cyber-Resilient: Learn how to protect your business

SMEs are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals yet often lack the resources and expertise to defend themselves effectively.

Recent statistics show that 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses, but only 14% are prepared to defend themselves. The consequences of a breach can be devastating, with 60% of small companies going out of business within six months of a cyberattack.

Join us on October 16th, where some of New Zealand’s foremost cyber-security experts will equip you with critical cybersecurity knowledge and practical strategies to secure your business from costly breaches.

This session is focused on raising awareness about digital threats, providing actionable insights to help you utilise your existing software better, and empowering you to implement cybersecurity measures more effectively, even on a limited budget.

At this in-person event our experts will cover:

• Getting the basics right - Don’t let cybercrime cost your business money
• How are your systems being compromised? Common tricks used by hackers and how to thwart them
• From setup to malicious software to ransomware attacks, we’ve got you covered
• Penetration testing and ethical hacking - what it can tell you about your cybersecurity
• Understanding the reputational and legal risks to having your business hacked and your customers’ information stolen
• Cyber insurance – how to get it and how to hold on to it. Plus, what governance, risk and compliance (GRC) requirements may demand of you in the future
• The privacy implications of poor cyber-security – you can be criminally liable for data breaches. Plus, if you export overseas, you may find much stricter privacy requirements with huge fines as the price you pay for poor cybersecurity
• How to secure your systems on a shoestring budget – tips for charities and not-for-profits as well as programmes such as Hacking for Heros, which help organisations that work with the community and vulnerable groups
